Abstract
A seat experience system includes a seat and a controller. The seat has a seat body and a sensor. The sensor is configured to acquire biogenic information of an occupant seated on the seat body. The controller is configured to acquire the biogenic information from the sensor, determine whether or not the occupant is in a resting state based on the biogenic information, execute, if the occupant is in the resting state, control in a first mode to sustain the resting state, and execute, if the occupant is not in the resting state, control in a second mode different from the first mode.
Claims15
A seat experience system comprising:
- a seat comprising a seat body, the seat body comprising:
- a movable part,
- a sensor configured to acquire at least one of heartbeat information, pulse information, respiratory information, or brainwave information of an occupant seated on the seat body, and
- a drive unit configured to operate the movable part;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive a command to change a posture of the seat from a first posture to a second posture;
- and
- in response to the command,
- acquire the at least one of heartbeat information, pulse information, respiratory information, or brainwave information from the sensor;
- determine whether or not the occupant is in a resting state, based on the acquired at least one of heartbeat information, pulse information, respiratory information, or brainwave information;
- execute, if the occupant is in the resting state, control in a first mode to sustain the resting state;
- execute, if the occupant is not in the resting state, control in a second mode different from the first mode;
- move the movable part to change the posture of the seat from the first posture to the second posture,
- the movable part being moved at a first speed in the first mode and at a second speed in the second mode, the first speed being slower than the second speed;
- discriminate sleep states of the occupant, based on the acquired at least one of heartbeat information, pulse information, respiratory information, or brainwave information, at least between a first sleep state, and a second sleep state having a quality of sleep lower than a quality of sleep of the first sleep state, and
- present a proposal for switching to a manual drive mode if a sleep state of the occupant becomes the second sleep state while the vehicle is being driven in an autonomous drive mode.

A seat experience system, comprising:
- a seat comprising:
- a seat body, and
- a sensor configured to acquire biogenic information of an occupant seated on the seat body;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- acquire the biogenic information from the sensor;
- determine whether or not the occupant is in a resting state, based on the biogenic information;
- execute, if the occupant is in the resting state, control in a first mode to sustain the resting state;
- and
- execute, if the occupant is not in the resting state, control in a second mode different from the first mode,
- wherein the seat is a vehicle seat, and the seat body is installed in a vehicle,
- wherein the controller is configured to execute a navigation process for navigating the vehicle to a destination according to a route set by the occupant, and wherein further
- when the navigation process is executed in the second mode, the route set by the occupant is presented, and
- when the navigation process is executed in the first mode, a route with a driving distance longer than a driving distance of the route set by the occupant is presented, and
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- discriminate sleep states of the occupant, based on the biogenic information, at least between a first sleep state, and a second sleep state having a quality of sleep lower than a quality of sleep of the first sleep state, and
- present a proposal for switching to a manual drive mode if a sleep state of the occupant becomes the second sleep state while the vehicle is being driven in an autonomous drive mode.
